Leicester fan set for £100k if club win title settles for £29k as 'he couldn't bear it'. A LEICESTER City fan who stood to make £100,000 if his club won the Premier League has accepted just £29,000 from the bookies — because he couldn't enjoy watching them play. TRISTAN POTTER/NEWSTEAM JOY: John Pryke is still happy with his cool £29,000 John Pryke placed the speculative £20 bet on a whim with Ladbrokes last August after "fancying the look" of the 5,000-1 odds. The Foxes are now sitting three points clear at top of the league with just 10 games to play. But the 59-year-old has decided to cash in the bet and take £29,000 from the bookies – meaning he will lose a whopping £71,000 if they clinch the title. Despite facing a big loss, John, who runs a care agency with his wife Julie, 55, said he will still be celebrating if The Foxes win the league. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/lat...League-football-sport-bet-club-cash-Ladbrokes
Well done to you mate, that´s what I say. Go & enjoy it. Make sure a season ticket, this seasons DVD highlights & a good holiday are on your shopping list.
Me too - enjoy it! I'd cash out and maybe whack some winnings on winning it. Less money but stress free. And also, he has made a lot of money...
